Soviet Frontier Guards - 1/72 - Zvezda (6144)

[vizenz]

Hello,
I'm not sure if 1/72 counts as "figures". But from time to time I like to paint a few of them. For example, the Zvezda mini sets with three to 5 figures on a World War II theme. I enjoy researching the different uniforms and then trying to implement them somehow on the little minis.
I'm so cheeky and just show a set here. I hope its OK.
Best regards,
Andi

Great job there excellent ,just shows what can be done with small scale figures ,unfortunately most people would just overlook these as zvezda seem to be considered poor quality ,early stuff yes but now there as good as the rest well done for showing us. Dave

Those are really excellent Andreas. The German shepherd in particular is superb. His colouration is spot on. Nice crisp job on the rest as well. Nothing wrong with the Zvezda figures to me, I’ve done a few. Mostly doing 28mm stuff at the moment though.
By the way, yes, 1/72 counts as figures………to me, if it looks like a figure, it’s a figure, no matter how small it is…..

Definitely figures. These are beautifully painted.

Very nice Andeas, If this is an example of your skills then I think we are in for a treat with your military vehicles.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

The little bases set them off very well,great stuff.

I have to ask you to be a little patient - I still have to try to take some good photos of it. But I would like to gradually show a few of my models.

@all Thank you very much for all your kind words.

These are great - as @Tim Marlow said, the German Shepherd is outstanding!

VMF striped T shirt at 1/72 scale: you are a brave modeller and very skilled painter Andi.
Who's your ophthalmologist?
Hope you'll pamper us with some more figures!

I will. I still have a few painted sets that I haven't shown yet. And despite the “Braille Scale” I actually don’t need glasses (yet).
